Cityscape Summer 2008

This is one trip we don't need to take. Cityscape is the quarterly publication of the City of Flagstaff and it comes right to your mailbox. It's forty-four pages filled with all the news about city-sponsored programs and events, plus information about the city government.

The Summer 2008 issue is just out. And since it is summer, Flagstaff Parks and Recreation takes center stage. But, you'll also find updates from the library, public works, the convention bureau, Flagstaff Pathways, water conservation, fire safety and community development. It really is an excellent publication.

Of special note in this issue is something new to Flagstaff:

"Flagstaff's 15-Minute Makeover...Coming this fall: the first annual Flagstaff 15-Minute Makeover! Together, we can put the clean back into our community. The 15-Minute Makeover will be a community-wide litter cleanup/beautification project that will take place simultaneously throughout Flagstaff on October 15 at 10:15 am. Keeping Flagstaff clean and beautiful is up to all of us. A clean city is a safe city! Stay tuned for more information..." From page 6 of Summer 2008 Cityscape.

What an innovative idea! Our grandmother's always said "many hands make light work" and this is especially true if those hands include all the citizens of Flagstaff. What a difference those fifteen minutes will make in our city environment. Mark your calendars and like Cityscape said "stay tuned for more information." Spread the word.

If you somehow missed your copy Cityscape or you need additional copies, contact the Public Information Officer at 928-779-7603. You can also download as a pdf from the Flagstaff website, but the summer issue isn't up yet, you'll get spring.
